5. DeShone Kizer struggles
While San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch might have been impressed by his interview, this Notre Dame product struggled big time in drills on Saturday. He was erratic in the position-specific drills, continually showing a lack of accuracy.

The reviews themselves were about as bad as it gets with top NFL draft analysts grading his day’s performance as the worst of the pack.
Kizer threw the ball behind his receiver every time. That will be a pick six in the NFL

One really has to wonder what this does for Kizer’s draft stock. Is he still an option to be the first quarterback off the board? If not, will the strong-armed quarterback fall out of the first round completely? He did very little to answer this on Saturday. Based on what we saw from the three other top-end quarterback prospects in Indy, that’s not a good thing.
